The $5 billion merger between Knight Transportation Inc. and Swift Transportation
Co. got a speedy clearance May 2 from U.S. antitrust authorities to create North America’s
largest long-haul trucker.

The Federal Trade Commission disclosed on its website that it granted early termination
of the statutory waiting period that permits the antitrust agencies to investigate
the competitive impacts of large mergers. The move signals that regulators had no
concerns about the tie-up.

The combined company, which will operate as Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc.,
has a combined revenue over $5 billion, the companies said in announcing the merger
on April 10. The parties said that the new company will “capitalize on economies of
scale to achieve substantial synergies” between the two businesses. They said that
Knight-Swift will have an implied enterprise value of about $6 billion including $1.1
billion of net debt.
